HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN PUBLISHED?
The Print
Edition of Legal Eagle Eye Newsletter for the Nursing Profession has gone out
every month starting with October 1992.
Electronic publishing was added in 2002.
WHAT IS OUR MISSION?
Our mission
is to reduce nurses’ fear of the law and minimize nurses’ exposure to
litigation. Nurse managers need to
spot potential legal problems and prevent them before they happen.
Managers and clinical nurses need to be familiar with how the law is
applied by the courts to specific patient-care situations, so that they can move
forward and act with confidence.
We work toward our goal every month by highlighting the very latest
important Federal and state court decisions and new Federal regulations directly
affecting nurses in hospitals, long term care facilities and home health
agencies. We focus on nursing
negligence and nurses’ employment and licensing issues.
Our readers
are busy professionals in nursing management, nursing education, clinical
nursing, legal nurse consulting and law.
WHAT PUBLICATION FORMATS ARE AVAILABLE?
Legal Eagle
Eye Newsletter for the Nursing Profession is available in print and/or two
different electronic formats. Each
format contains the same exact content.
The newsletter is eight pages of content with no advertising.
The Print Edition includes the option also to receive the newsletter in
an electronic format at no additional cost.
Electronic formats include the Electronic/Email Edition and the Online
Edition.
The Electronic/Email Edition is our most popular format.
The newsletter is a PDF file attachment in an email sent to you every
month. On any computer or mobile
device you simply click to open, read, download, and/or print the newsletter.
The
Electronic/Email Edition is a format ideally suited to individuals.
It can also be used by large institutions.
Within an institution, like a hospital or university nursing department,
an individual subscriber can forward articles to colleagues within the
institution. The content cannot be
forwarded outside the institution or posted online.
An example might be a nursing director or director of nursing education
who shares articles with nurse managers in individual clinical departments at
the hospital.
The Online Edition is a format suited to educational and healthcare
facility libraries with multiple users.
We send a link via email for the particular monthly newsletter.
To open the link to the newsletter for that month the subscriber or other
users must be using a computer or device whose IP address or range of IP
addresses we have authenticated for online access.
